Racial, ethnic and sex disparity in acute heart failure patients with COVID-19: A nationwide analysis.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Patients with acute heart failure (AHF) exacerbation are susceptible to complications in the setting of COVID-19 infection. Data regarding the racial/ethnic and sex disparities in patients with AHF and COVID-19 remains limited. Objective: We aim to evaluate the impact of race, ethnicity, and sex on the in-hospital outcomes of AHF with COVID-19 infection using the data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS). Methods: We extracted data from the NIS (2020) by using ICD-10-CM to identify all hospitalizations with a diagnosis of AHF and COVID-19 in the year 2020. The associations between sex, race/ethnicity, and outcomes were examined using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: We identified a total of 158,530 weighted AHF hospitalizations with COVID-19 infection in 2020. The majority were White (63.9 %), 23.3 % were Black race, and 12.8 % were of Hispanic ethnicity, mostly males (n = 84,870 [53.5 %]). After adjustment, the odds of in-hospital mortality were lowest in White females (aOR 0.83, [0.78-0.98]) and highest in Hispanic males (aOR 1.27 [1.13-1.42]) compared with White males. Overall, the odds of cardiac arrest (aOR 1.54 [1.27-1.85]) and AKI (aOR 1.36 [1.26-1.47] were higher, while odds for procedural interventions such as PCI (aOR 0.23 [0.10-0.55]), and placement on a ventilator (aOR 0.85 [0.75-0.97]) were lower among Black males in comparison to White males. Conclusion: Male sex was associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality in white and black racial groups, while no such association was noted in the Hispanic group. Hispanic males had the highest odds of death compared with White males.
